Backed by a stunning tropical forest and lapped by the warm waters, this beach’s white sand (which is 98% pure silica) doesn’t retain heat, which means it’s very comfortable to walk on even when barefoot, at any given time of day. It’s one of the finest places to catch a tan in Australia and once you sink your toes into its’ soft sands, you will never want to leave.
I” would say that if you are in this part of the world then do visit – the sand is soft and was the softest sand i have ever felt, the sea was lovely and i thought it was beautful – we went as part of a day trip and were there for about an hour and a half – which i felt was just about right!” – “TripAdvisor” review

Baby Beach on the coast of Aruba
When visiting Aruba one must visit baby beach! First the drive there really gives you a sense how how the local people of Aruba live. The drive is a pleasant one with incredible cactus and donkeys along the way!
Baby Beach, officially known as Klein Lagoen, is a shallow, sheltered man-altered lagoon located near Mangle Cora in Seroe Colorado (formerly Roode Berg), on the south-east end of the island of Aruba. It is frequented by locals and tourists.

Review on Trip Advisor “Our family absolutely loves this calm, beautifully pristine beach— we saw more of a diversely wide range of sea life & different colorful species of fish in one small area than tons of other Caribbean locations we’ve visited. So so beautiful. Definitely worth a day of your vacation, snorkeling or not!”

Sentosa Island off the southern coast of Singapore’s main island.
Here 3 beaches called the “Palawan” Beach, “Siloso” Beach and “Tanjong” beach, makes this country a very spacial and worthy place to go if you want to get a brilliant tan.
Its not far from the equator so the temperature is always in the low 30s and the sun is always shining.
The resort island was developed in the 1970s and feels like a mini, tropical Las Vegas with an abundance of mega hotels, a giant casino, theme parks, restaurants, and shopping. Sun worshipers have a choice of three man-made beaches on Sentosa’s southwestern coast: Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong.
Anse Source d’Argent in the south-west of La Digue, Seychelles
has often been described as the most beautiful beach in the world, and it is certainly one of the Seychelles’ most famous attractions.
It has the reputation as the most photographed beach in the world. With its soft white sand, clear turquoise water and huge granite boulders sculptured by the elements and time itself.

Its one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With a backdrop of the rolling hills of Brazil, you will not only find yourself tanning here but also enjoying the beautiful scenery. In addition to being a great place for tanning and for enjoying the landscape, Copacabana Beach is rarely quiet.
“What a beautifulI beach. Its hard to get over how beautiful this beach is. Soft, wide clean sand, a perfect curve that is miles long, Atlantic breakers that make a fantastic sound. Its A great place for people watching, the families, the cool carioca (people from Rio), the friendly beach sellers, the beach volleyball and even better the soccer volleyball. At the back of the beach are well spaced bars serving ice cold caipirinha to live music, each with toilets beneath them. The beach has a different feel on sunday afternoons -full of families, weekdays – quieter very friendly, night time – well lit but still atmospheric in the hot evening. What about safety? In the sea during daytime there are many lifeguards (with dark red tops). On land the promenade is well covered by Police all wearing fluorescent yellow tops.” – TripAdvisor review”
Saint Tropez on the French Riviera
A number of famous people make vacation stops at St. Tropez each year, pointing to the specter of this French getaway. The Plage Port Grimaud is undoubtedly the place to be seen catching rays in St. Tropez, as it is the most popular beach in the area.
Saint Tropez is a coastal town on the French Riviera. It lies on an unspoiled and remote peninsula so it can take a bit longer to reach than some other Cote d’Azur hot spots.
Most of the sandy hot spots lie southwest of town on the Baie de Pampelonne. But if you’re not P. Diddy, take heart: you’ll find a few family-friendly, public beaches where the sun, sand and waves are just as fabulous.
The stunning Crete is the largest island in Greece
and the fifth largest one in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, you can admire the remnants of brilliant civilisations, explore glorious beaches, impressive mountainscapes, fertile valleys and steep gorges, and become part of the island’s rich gastronomic culture.
The island of Crete off of the south coast of Greece is surrounded by 100 miles of beach along its coastline. Try the area of Rethimno on the island’s northern coast. The beach is beautiful but tends to be crowded, as it is one of the most popular spots on the island. If you are looking for a place to tan in solitude then try elsewhere, as there are plenty of small, secluded beaches scattered around the island where you will be more than likely to catch a few rays.
